Nominator's rationale:Rename. Pike is ambiguous. Another option would be to delete since this is a grouping by roads that include 'pike'. The other option would be to upmerge to
Category:Toll roads in the United States.

Now that I look at this closer, this category consists of non-toll roads with "Pike" in their name. Clear example of
WP:SHAREDNAME.

Good point above; these were not all actually turnpikes. For a time in the 1920s and 1930s, Pike or Turnpike was a popular suffix for new highways that weren't necessarily old turnpikes (e.g. Boston-Providence Turnpike). --

Strong rename clearly this isn't the most common meanings of pike (a fish) or most commonly found one that isn't a fish (a weapon or an acrobatic position) --

Merge somewhere. "Pikes" is clearly an abbreviation for turnpikes. As I am not in US, I do not know enougfh to pronounce on the precise targets.

Rename/merge/delete; merge everything to the preexisting categories identified above. When I think pike, I think either the fish or
the weapon.

Upmerge per nom. The rule is not that every place that exists automatically gets its own separate "People from" category; we create these only when we have enough articles about people from that place to justify them, and leave people catted at the level of the most appropriate parent division (county, state, etc.) until numbers warrant.

Rename per SFB. It will be unusual for a WP article to carry such weight. I do occasionally see WP articles cited in academic literature, but becasue they are not peer-reviewed in the normal sense and at risk of having
WP:OR added, this is unusual.

Rename if Kept no opinion on whether or not to keep it though but, if we have it, should start with "Wikipedia".
RevelationDirect (

Rename The current name suggests this contains entries in Wikipedia on specific articles. While there may be some articles published in Professional Journals that have been so impactful that they are notable enough to be included in wikipedia, I know of none off the top of my head that have an article. For example, to pick an article that has been given a best article award by a professional association, we could have an article on
'Saviors on Mount Zion": Mormon Sacramentalism, Mortality, and the Baptism for the Dead. I doubt we would. Even most books don't get articles in wikipedia, but that is where I thought this category was heading. I would however for that type of entry in wikipedia have the category be named
Category:Articles in academic journals or something along those lines.
